Debian - can't upgrade

[Zbigniew Koziol]

Not quite an aswer but.. who knows?

I did always had problem to install imagemagick, on any OS. Sometime I did 
succeed but only by installing from source and compiling. And not every 
version of imagemagick did let itself to be installed in that way. The 
problem is even worser when one attempts to have perl support for 
Imagemagick. There is something messed up there for a long time. But, well, 
once it is installed it works fine, at least in my case ;)
